'''Wadi al-Qura''' (Al-Ula) is a historical region in northwestern [[Medina]] in [[Saudi Arabia]], located on the trade route from [[Syria]] to [[Yemen]]. In ancient times, this area was inhabited by the people of Ad and Thamud, and in early Islam, it was a Jewish settlement. Wadi al-Qura witnessed important events such as the [[Battle of Wadi al-Qura]] and the passage of the [[Prophet (PBUH)]] during the [[Battle of Tabuk]]. [[Imam Ali (AS)]] also had endowments in this region. Today, al-Ula, with its historical attractions like [[Madain Saleh]] (a UNESCO World Heritage site), has become one of Saudi Arabia's significant cultural tourism destinations.
